I was looking at the lengthy Flickr album of adoptable staff, dogs, equipment, velvet paintings, plumbing, and toys for the Marathon. So many tired, beat-up looking things to claim! And that's just the DJs. Meanwhile, great show, Joe!

weird news out today--only when we see full moon means the moon is in earths trailing magnetosphere--means the moon surface becomes charged--no moon landings happened when moon was full--or lander could have been destroyed

Allusion Time: Drop A Bomb On The Gap Band instead! (Zing! Also '81!)

lauren berry:
joe! will i see you fridays during the marathon?

Sun. 2/20/11 2:01am
Matt from Springfield:
@CH: That's why it's "rocket science" -- not only did they have to consider factors such as that, they also had to make a launch that would leave the Earth's atmosphere, land on where the Moon would be in 3 days, and they did it all with SLIDE RULES. Math can be amazing when you put it to good use!

Sun. 2/20/11 2:01am
Joe McG:
You will indeed! Hi, Lauren!

lauren berry:

Tim Serpas:
You are absolutely correct about Beavis and Butt-Head.

coalhard:
i could tell you how the moon is moving away from the earth at 1 inch per year which means the moon is about 6 ft. further away than when i was born

Matt from Springfield:
Yoohoo, Mr. Listener Services! I got a couple questions, so please type answers with your typing while you spin records with your best hand for that!

? The 1st: I got my pledge form mailed to me, and I know you like some early motivation for the marathon with an early donation, but can I still have my donation announced on a show during the first week?

lauren berry:
i just rediscovered the john prine/iris dement "in spite of ourselves" i don't know why but this song is my guilty pleasure

Sun. 2/20/11 2:20am
Joe McG:
Hey, Matt--Sure. If you check "Prize Account" on the form, you can call and pledge on whatever shows you like and the pledge will count towards your initial pledge.

? The 2nd: Have you ever mailed out Dave Emory's "anti-fascist snack item"? I'm curious as to what that is!

Sun. 2/20/11 2:21am
Joe McG:
Hey, Lauren--I love that song! If I weren't on the 4th floor, I'd grab it from the library and play it!

Sun. 2/20/11 2:22am
lauren berry:
why are you in B?

Sun. 2/20/11 2:23am
Joe McG:
We start broadcasting up here a couple of weeks early to get used to it since it feels so different. I'm still getting used to the mic, which is ultra sensitive.

Sun. 2/20/11 2:24am
Matt from Springfield:
Thanks Joe--no one in your listening area will recognize ME per se, but I like to have large pledges announced on the air, so fans of a show will know that a lot of other fans are truly off the sidelines pledging their support.

Sun. 2/20/11 2:25am
lauren berry:
ah. gotcha.

Brian in UK:
Morning Joe, was just 'bout to ask if you had Gram & Emmylou and here it is. Heaven. Top man.

And one more quickie: Do you know who is on your tag team for the marathon, or whose other shows you will be on?

Sun. 2/20/11 2:36am
Joe McG:
Sure, Matt, no big secret. I'll be on with Meghan and Rich. On with me will be Mike Sin and Rob W. I hope you'll like the CD...I think it's a good one!

Sun. 2/20/11 2:38am
Matt from Springfield:
Many thanks Joe, looking forward to that and to a great marathon! These country duets are nearly perfect, many thanks for that as well. Gram/Emmylou, Nancy/Lee, Waylon/Anita, Kris and Rita...ah...

Matt from Springfield:
Mickey and Sylvia to boot! I only saw a brief glimpse on TV once, but Sylvia played the electric guitar! Real happenin' chick!
